Gotchas
- Default search type is
"search"(web). Always specifysearch_typefor non-web searches - Country and language codes affect result localization significantly
numbercontrols results per page, not total results — usepagefor pagination- Time range only applies to web search and news, not images or places
- Image search returns thumbnail and full-size URLs — use full-size for downloads
- Places search works best with location-specific queries (e.g., "restaurants near Times Square")
